1983 – 2018
N. Grosvenordale, CT – Joshua A. Proulx, 35, of Riverside Dr., unexpectedly passed away surrounded by loved ones on Sunday, December 2, 2018 at UMass University Hospital from an illness. He was born in Southbridge, MA but lived his childhood in Dudley, MA. He attended school at Bay Path High School in Charlton, MA. He was the loving companion of Callie Parker for 19 years. They have two wonderful children, Jameson and Kaylynn Proulx who both love and will miss him dearly. Josh was the son of Paul Proulx and Cindy (Leduc) Proulx, both of whom reside in Southbridge. He also leaves behind his grandparents, Roland and Shirley Leduc; two loving sisters, Kasey Proulx of Southbridge and Erin Proulx along with his brother in-law, Christopher Nichols also of Southbridge; and his nephews, who will miss him tremendously, and Jordan and Jionni Nichols. Josh has a big loving family which includes his aunt and uncle, Donald and Lynn of Texas; and their children, his close cousins, Dawn Santasieri and Andrew Proulx, also from Texas. He spent many of his younger years close to his Taunte, Madelene Stubbs of Worcester, MA. He leaves behind his Minoke, Christopher Leduc of Woodstock, CT as well. Josh was loved by many and leaves behind many friends and family. He is predeceased by his grandparents, Gerald and Jeannette Proulx.
Joshua enjoyed fishing, the outdoors sitting by the fire and most importantly, more than anything, his two children. He worked most of his life in the manufacturing business, mainly running around on his forklift truck and making everyone laugh. Josh was a loving father, boyfriend, son, brother, and will be missed very much by all of his loved ones.
Relatives and friends are invited to visit with Joshua’s family from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, December 15, 2018 in the Valade Funeral Home and Crematory, 23 Main St., N. Grosvenordale.

In your hands, O Lord,
we humbly entrust our brothers and sisters.
In this life you embraced them with your tender love;
deliver them now from every evil
and bid them eternal rest.
The old order has passed away:
welcome them into paradise,
where there will be no sorrow, no weeping or pain,
but fullness of peace and joy
with your Son and the Holy Spirit
forever and ever.

I wanted to express my heartfelt condolences to all of Joshua’s family. Death is the hardest thing we have to deal with in life. I know my words can do little to ease the pain you are feeling, so I pray that the God of comfort be your comfort now, to help you cope. (2 Thessalonians 2:16,17) Lean on Him in the days to follow and read of our amazing hope for our loved ones who have fallen asleep in death.
